About Rockyspring Winery

Rockyspring Winery sits in Hartsel, Colorado, a small ranching community in the heart of South Park at nearly 9,000 feet elevation. The high-altitude environment here creates unique growing conditions you won't find in most American wine regions. Hartsel is roughly midway between Denver and Salida on Highway 24, making it a natural stop for travelers crossing the Rockies. Wineries operating at this elevation deal with short growing seasons and intense sunlight, which can produce wines with concentrated flavors and a character all their own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a reservation to visit Rockyspring Winery?
It's a good idea to call ahead, especially if you're planning a weekend visit or coming in a group. Smaller wineries in rural Colorado often have limited tasting room staff, so a quick call to (720) 324-2833 ensures someone will be ready to host you.
What kinds of wines are produced at high-altitude Colorado wineries?
High-altitude wineries in Colorado often produce varieties that handle cooler temperatures well, including Riesling, Marquette, and certain cold-hardy hybrid grapes. The intense UV light at elevation can also produce bolder reds with deep color and firm tannins.
Can I host a private event at Rockyspring Winery?
Yes, private events including small weddings, anniversary dinners, and corporate retreats are typically available at Colorado mountain wineries. You'll want to reach out well in advance to discuss capacity, catering options, and any venue fees.
Is the winery open year-round?
Many rural Colorado wineries adjust their hours seasonally due to weather and staffing. Calling ahead or checking their current schedule before making the drive from Denver or Colorado Springs is always the smart move.
How do I join the wine club?
Wine club sign-up typically happens in person at the tasting room or over the phone. Members usually receive a set number of bottles per shipment, discounts on additional purchases, and invitations to exclusive release events.
What should I expect from a vineyard tour here?
A vineyard tour at a high-altitude Colorado winery walks you through the growing conditions, trellising systems, and the decisions that go into managing vines at elevation. You'll likely hear directly from the winemaker about how the South Park climate shapes every vintage.
